1. INVITATION TO NEGOTIATE 1.1 Overview of the Opportunity and ITN Process

The University of South Florida (“University” or “USF”) is issuing this Invitation to Negotiate (“ITN”) to solicit responses from interested parties (“Private Entity” or “Private Entities”) to enter into a public-private partnership with the University to develop a new on-campus mixed-use residential community (“Project”) at its St. Petersburg, Florida campus (“USFSP”). The Project, to be delivered in the July 1, 2019, is expected to include approximately 550 beds and associated residential spaces, 15,000 square feet of dining space and 25,000 gross square feet of conference center space. The addition of conference center space is subject to approval of the Florida Legislature. The building will support expansion of student life programming, community building, and integration of USFSP with the city of St. Petersburg. The University is seeking a Private Entity to design-build-finance-operate-maintain the Project including the option to incorporate existing housing facilities as described further within this document. Through this solicitation process, the University is seeking to identify a Private Entity with appropriate qualifications, experience, financial capacity and a proven track record of executing similar projects. Following receipt of initial proposals on qualifications, the University will establish a shortlist of the Private Entities (“Qualified Proposers”) to continue in the ITN process and further develop the framework and structure for a public private partnership with the University. A response to this ITN is a prerequisite to participate in subsequent steps. Two (2) or more Private Entities may collaborate in submitting a response to this ITN, but a single Private Entity must be designated to contract with the University and be responsible for performance under any future contract. Interested Parties should not contact any other officials of the University, its Student Housing program, or advisors of the University with regard to this opportunity, other than George Cotter, Interim Director Purchasing Services, whose contact information is listed above. Interested Parties are advised that unauthorized contacts with officials, related parties or advisors of the University may result in elimination of an Interested Party from this ITN process. 2. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE UNIVERSITY AND DESCRIPTION

OF THE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY 2.1 USF St. Petersburg Background and Overview

Situated in the dynamic and growing city of St Petersburg, Florida, the University serves over 5,000 students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. USFSP has the advantages of both a large and small institution. The University of South Florida System is comprised of three separately accredited institutions: the University of South Florida Tampa, the University of

Page 6: INVITATION TO NEGOTIATE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA – … · responder is in compliance with all requirements of the Invitation to Negotiate, including but not limited to, certification

South Florida St. Petersburg, and the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee. Serving more than 49,000 students, the USF System has an annual budget of $1.6 billion. Established in 1965, USFSP recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. USFSP achieved separate accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools/Commission on Colleges (SACS/COC) in the USF System in 2006. Now classified as a Master’s Medium institution by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education, the University ranks among the top 25 regional colleges in the South by U.S. News and World Report (2017). The Carnegie Foundation classifies USFSP as a Community Engaged University. The University is proud of its rich history of academic excellence, entrepreneurial spirit, ingenuity, and dedication to meeting regional and statewide workforce needs. USFSP’s 24 undergraduate and 13 graduate programs offer many educational choices as well as civic engagement, research, and internship opportunities. The distinguished faculty includes internationally respected authors, scientists, and educators. Among them are Fulbright Scholars, Pulitzer Prize jurors, and Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Faculty excellence drives USFSP’s goal of graduating true scholars who are engaged in the community and in academic research. USFSP’s 19:1 student-to-faculty ratio supports this mission (IPEDS, Fall 2014). The USFSP Kate Tiedemann College of Business has earned the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International accreditation in both business and accounting. This dual accreditation is held by just one percent of colleges of business worldwide. It is in good company with the USFSP College of Education, accredited under the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) standards through the Council for the Accreditation for Educator Preparation (CAEP). Both the undergraduate and graduate programs of the College of Arts and Science’s Department of Journalism and Media Studies are accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC). Accreditation of both programs is a distinct achievement shared by only a small group of colleges. USFSP is nestled on the waterfront adjacent to downtown St. Petersburg. The “Sunshine City” is home to a vibrant and growing arts, music, and culinary community. Students enjoy access to this thriving city, as well as an active campus life that offers outstanding classroom and civic learning opportunities. Students, staff, and faculty enjoy a variety of recreational activities afforded by the USFSP's location on Tampa Bay. Additional information about USF St. Petersburg is available at http://www.usfsp.edu/about-usfsp/. 2.1.1 Current Enrollment and Projections

USFSP is in the midst of a period of substantial enrollment growth. The University projects that full-time undergraduate enrollment has the potential to grow nearly 60% over the 10 year period ending in academic year 2025. Enrollment has been on target with projections over the first two years of this period with 2,855 full-time students enrolled as of academic year 2016. Full time student enrollment projections are shown below. These estimates were prepared by the University and are subject to change due to market conditions.

2.2 USF St. Petersburg Current Housing System 2.2.1 Vision and Mission Statements

The USFSP Strategic Plan 2014-2024 (http://www.usfsp.edu/vision2020/) supports the growth of the residential community on campus. The plan articulates a goal to grow the residential population to 30% of undergraduate full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment. The Department of Housing and Residence Life at USFSP strives to create a seamless environment of living and learning for students in the residential community. This is achieved by offering innovative programs, quality services in a safe living environment and through opportunities for leadership development, civic responsibility and citizenship, personal development, self-exploration, and student involvement. University Housing staff assists in building a life-long connection between the student and the University. Their vision expresses that Housing and Residence Life will strive to educate our students outside of the classroom to provide them with a collegiate experience that better prepares them for a pluralistic society that contributes to learning. 2.2.2 Existing USF St. Petersburg Housing Inventory

After successfully launching its residential program in 2006, the University built a second phase of student housing in 2012. Both facilities achieved full occupancy shortly after opening. There is surplus demand for student housing with students being turned away as well as accommodated in an off-campus hotel. USFSP opened in August 2016 with 122% occupancy in their housing facilities. (Historical occupancy rates are shown in section 2.3.2.) The USF St Petersburg campus current student housing capacity of 553 is a mix of single and double occupancy spaces in semi-suite and apartment-style beds. The USF St Petersburg campus currently consists of the following facilities:

2.3 USF Development Opportunity

2.3.1 Project Goals and Objectives

2.3.1.1 The Analysis In early 2016, the University engaged Brailsford & Dunlavey (“B&D”, a nationally known comprehensive planning and program management firm) to act as a development advisor for USFSP for a new, on-campus mixed-use project. As part of their scope, B&D completed a study of the strategic needs and demand for additional on-campus housing (“Plan” or “Analysis”) with the assistance of senior administration and Student Affairs staff. In addition to the Analysis, B&D was engaged to evaluate project structuring and delivery alternatives as well as facilitate the procurement of a Private Entity to enter a public-private partnership with the University and oversight of the Project delivery. The Analysis identified additional student housing, in addition to dining and conference spaces, as needed in response to the University’s strategic objectives, enrollment growth, and short supply of beds, food service, and meeting spaces on campus. Through the Analysis, B&D quantified demand and space needs and translate the results into a Project concept that furthers the University’s strategic objectives. In August 2016, the USFSP Campus Board and USF Board of Trustees unanimously approved the Project concept and authorized the University to initiate an Invitation to Negotiate to identify a partner for the Project. B&D completed the following tasks as a part of the Analysis:

- An analysis was conducted to assess USFSP’s vision for the desired role of new housing facilities in supporting the University’s strategic objectives. The resulting information was then synthesized to prioritize the strategic objectives that must be accomplished in order for the University to achieve its objectives.

- A series of focus groups and stakeholder interviews were facilitated by B&D in order to engage USFSP students and faculty/staff in dynamic conversations regarding their

opinions, observations, and recommendations related to existing conditions and future opportunities for on-campus housing and quality-of-life facility integration.

- An analysis of the off-campus market was completed in order to understand the diversity

and availability of housing accommodations proximate to USFSP’s campus.

- An internet-based survey was administered to USFSP students to better understand the current satisfaction, participation, and needs related to on-campus housing, and to inform current and future latent demand for new or improved residential facilities provided at USFSP. The response rate resulted in a statistically significant sample of the University.

- Stemming from the survey results, a supply and demand analysis was conducted to evaluate

the University’s need for new or improved housing and associated campus facilities. In addition to quantifying the latent demand and needs for new housing facilities, additional dining space needs were quantified and an opportunity for a new conference center was identified. The demand results were then reconciled with the University’s strategic objectives to develop recommendations for the spaces that should be considered for inclusion in an eventual on-campus development effort.

- A system-wide financial model of the USFSP housing portfolio that includes a project-

specific financial pro forma was constructed to evaluate the financial feasibility of the Project concept. The model also considered a variety of structures and delivery alternatives to confirm financial feasibility under a range of potential scenarios. The results of B&D’s Analysis will be provided to Private Entities upon request.

2.3.1.2 Project Objectives The University is interested in achieving the following Project goals:

• Offer a Residential Experience to More Students: USF’s St. Petersburg campus is interested in supporting the latent and future demand that exists from its student population. The University recognizes the benefits to students who live on campus and wants to extend those benefits to all students who want a residential experience.

• Enrich the Campus Culture and Community Environment: Expanding the number of students living on campus will expand the population that will remain on campus outside of teaching hours and will have a higher propensity to be involved in student activities and campus programming. New housing must not only increase the on-campus housing capacity but also support this type of community building for the increasing enrollment.

• Deliver a Progressive Housing Model: Through additional housing offerings, USFSP desires to deliver a progressive housing model, aligning appropriate unit-type offerings with a student’s development along the

Page 10: INVITATION TO NEGOTIATE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA – … · responder is in compliance with all requirements of the Invitation to Negotiate, including but not limited to, certification

student housing continuum. The University housing system should include units that are appropriate for all four years of the undergraduate experience. With existing facilities that are intended for first-year and senior students, the Project must create residential units that are developmentally appropriate for sophomore and junior students.

• Create Financially Differentiated Housing Options: While the University understands the need for the Project to be financially successful, the University is also interested in providing more financially differentiated housing options to expand the financial accessibility of student housing. Rental rate structures for both new and existing housing facilities are expected to collectively create a financial range of housing options. In support of these strategic objectives, USFSP desires to maintain control over rental rates that can be charged for the Project by requiring approval of initial rates and subsequent increases sought by the Private Entity.

• Further Integrate USFSP with City of St. Petersburg The Project should enhance the University’s competitive location in downtown St. Petersburg. It should also help solidify USFSP as a valuable member of the St. Petersburg community and encourage residents, workers, and visitors of the Clearwater/St. Petersburg area to visit the USFSP campus.

2.3.1.3 Design and Sustainability Objectives The University expects that the Project’s buildings and site improvements to be of Class A institutional quality and commensurate with top-tier American universities. The Project is expected to comply with University building codes, standards and regulations. The Project must at least meet minimum requirements set forth by USFSP’s design guidelines, which includes LEED Gold Certification by the US Green Building Council. The expectation is that this Project will demonstrate the design tenets adopted by the Association of College and University Housing Officers – International (ACUHO-I) 21st Century Project focused on sustainability, flexibility, community, and technology. University review and approval of the Project design will be required. The building program is expected to include:

• 550 student beds and associated residential spaces • A contract dining space of 15,000 gross square feet • A conference center of 25,000 gross square feet

The building will support expansion of student life programming, community building, and integration of USFSP with the city of St. Petersburg. Ample space must also be allocated for operational needs of the building including storage, custodial, maintenance, grounds, technology, trash, vending, and lobby and service desk locations. The exterior of the building and grounds of the site are expected to complement the existing campus as seen on the Harborwalk in the center of campus.

2.3.1.4 Maintenance and Operations Objectives In alignment with the stated objectives, the delivery of maintenance and operations for the Project must be consistent and integrated with similar services currently provided on campus. There are five (5) options that the University will consider from Proposers for the delivery of maintenance operations:

1. University will maintain and operate the Project, and will be reimbursed for all costs by the Private Entity.

2. Private Entity will self-operate the development in alignment with USFSP standards. 3. Private Entity will outsource to a third-party operator at the sole cost of the Private

Entity. The third-party operator will provide a level of service consistent with USFSP standards.

4. Private Entity will deliver one of the approaches above for the existing housing system in addition to the Project.

5. An appropriate combination of options listed above. If maintenance and operations are to be delivered by the Private Entity or third-party operator for the Project with or without the existing housing system, the University will work with the Private Entity to develop an agreement that delineates the standards for the management and maintenance responsibilities. Additional coordination will be required to ensure that the delivery of services is consistent with USFSP’s vision for the Project. It is expected that the direct costs of USFSP employees residing in the Project and overseeing the resident students will be reimbursed by the Private Entity. Qualified Proposers will receive cost assumptions to be included as part of an eventual financial model. It is important to note, however, that the University seeks to retain the responsibility for student billings, collections and room assignments for the Project and the existing housing system through its Housing and Residence Life office. Therefore, these duties will not be included in the operations delivery approach provided by the Private Entity in response to this ITN. 2.3.1.5 Financial and Credit Impact Objectives The University, through the USF Financing Corporation’s Master Lease Purchase Program, has financed existing student housing properties and pledged student housing rental revenues to the USF Financing Corporation (a Florida not-for-profit corporation and direct support organization of the University) which has issued approximately $250 million of Certificates of Participation to develop student housing and student centers on University campuses in Tampa and St. Petersburg that will continue to be owned by the University. USF’s housing system debt is rated A1 (stable) by Moody’s Investor Services and A+ (stable) by Standard & Poor’s. The University is rated Aa2 (stable) by Moody’s Investor Services and AA- (stable) by Standard & Poor’s. Respondents to this ITN should understand that the University’s credit ratings and credit condition are important to the University. All respondents should take this into consideration with any

12 of 50

proposed structure and associated financing which may have an impact on the University’s credit rating. The University expects that any agreement for the development of the Project will be structured with the priority of minimizing the credit and financial impact to the University and the existing housing system. Maintaining these ratings are important to the University and any proposed financing for the Project should be structured to best maintain these ratings. USFSP engaged Public Financial Management (“PFM”), a national financial advisor, to analyze the Project’s potential impact on its credit, balance sheet, capital and operations. PFM is the University’s independent registered municipal advisor (IRMA). The University anticipates a ground lease may be required with the selected Private Entity for the site on which the Project will be constructed. Any ground lease will be subject to a series of required approvals. Note: The University will not approve any proposal which the University believes in its sole discretion will result in the selected Private Entity’s project structure adversely affecting the University’s credit profile or credit ratings by any national rating agency currently rating University debt. 2.3.2 Housing Demand USFSP has a historically high student demand for housing.

2.3.3 The USF Development Opportunity The State University System of Florida Board of Governors has created development guidelines for public-private partnerships. They can be found here: http://www.flbog.edu/documents_regulations/guidelines/Public-Private%20Partnership%20Guidelines.pdf 2.3.3.1 Total Project Overview The University recognizes that undergraduate student housing is a strategic core business. USFSP believes that this Project could physically enhance the core of their campus located in downtown St. Petersburg. This Project also has the potential to further the University’s strategic objectives and extend the advantages of a residential experience to more students. The University’s current plans include the development of 550 full-suite residential beds with associated residential support spaces to be delivered in the summer of 2019. A majority of residents living within the Project are expected to be sophomore and junior students, as current housing options include semi-suites for freshmen and apartments for seniors. However, enrollment growth is anticipated to also result in latent demand for additional freshmen and FTIC students until the University is able to build additional housing per the University’s approved Master Plan. The current schedule anticipates the Private Entity will begin design by June 2017. The Project must be complete and delivered no later than July 1, 2019. The university is interested in exploring various transaction structures for the development and operation of the project including the option to incorporate existing housing facilities. The residential program is expected to include:

• 550 student beds: o 248 two-bedroom, one bath, double-occupancy full-suite beds on three floors o 288 four-bedroom, two bath, single-occupancy full-suite beds on four floors o 14 single-occupancy studios for resident assistants distributed on all residential

floors • One two-bedroom, one bath, apartment for professional staff • One studio apartment for a graduate assistant • Student lounge and student study room on each floor • Community great room/lounge and full kitchen • Community laundry space • Residential Life administrative space • Resident mail and package service space (serving all USFSP residents)

2.3.3.2 Non-Housing Project Component Overview To enhance the student experience within the community, as well as provide additional amenities to the community at large, the University is seeking to provide additional quality-of-life services including dining and a conference center.

Dining: For the residential dining facility, the Private Entity is expected to build according to University specifications and will require direct coordination between the Private Entity and USFSP. USFSP will coordinate input from its current food service provider. The estimated square footage for this facility is 15,000 GSF. Dining facilities are expected to be operated and maintained by the University’s food service provider. The dining program is expected to include:

• All required kitchen, serving, and seating areas to serve 400 students simultaneously • Back-of-the-house kitchen space to support catering operations in the conference center • Administrative space for the dining operator

Conference Center: The conference center requires the approval of the Florida Legislature to be included in the Project. The Project’s conference center space is expected to total approximately 25,000 GSF. The Project will be responsible for revenue generation, operations, and maintenance of the conference center. The conference center is expected to be located on the top floor of the building and have separate access and vertical circulation from the other components of the Project with exception of controlled access to the back-of-the-house spaces in the dining space for catering operations. The conference center program is expected include:

• A large ballroom with capacity for 500 seats in a banquet-style arrangement • A large lobby/pre-event space • Ten break-out rooms/classrooms, each with capacity for 100 seats in a theater-style

arrangement • Food prep and warming spaces for catering services • Storage spaces

2.3.4 Site Description The site is located on the campus and within the boundary of the existing Campus Development Agreement. The identified Project site is on the north side of 6th Avenue between 3rd Street and 4th Street. The identified Project site is a highly-visible location that is adjacent:

• University Parking Garage • University Bookstore • Recreation Field

The site is only one block away from:

• University Student Center (includes 201 beds, dining, and meeting spaces) • Student Life Center (includes student organization offices and student fitness center) • Harborwalk (outdoor pedestrian plaza in the center of campus)

This site location and zoning will allow for development of the full project program. The University’s approved master plan designates this site for 218,000 gross square feet of new development for housing and dining uses. The site is the largest of three designated locations for future housing expansion and the only designated location for dining expansion.

5.3 EXHIBIT – PROJECT INFRASTRUCTURE

The net proposed growth is within the University’s Water Use Permit. For future phases that go beyond this, USFSP must absorb this additional impact and still meet the needs of the future campus population. This is addressed in the Campus Development Agreement with the City. The capacity refers to that of generation and delivery systems of, electrical, potable water, storm and sanitary sewers. University approval will be required for design of systems and selection of materials. There are a number of infrastructure systems which the institution operates across the environment, including those enumerated below. Respondents should plan, design, and build for the continued operation of these infrastructure systems by USFSP. Systems which have not been specifically mentioned include (but are not limited to) the building access control system, energy management systems, security camera systems, and security alarm systems. Buildings must be provided with infrastructure systems which are of the same type as already exist in order for the institution to continue consistent operations. Respondents are responsible for ensuring consistent and compatible infrastructure management systems are in place and reviewed and coordinated with the University organizations which have responsibility for each system. Project Utilities: ELECTRICAL: Duke Energy Florida currently provides both primary and secondary metered service to all buildings on campus. HOT/CHILLED WATER: There is currently insufficient capacity for this Project. Therefore, four (4) options are available to the respondents. Option 1 includes a variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air-conditioning system integral to the building. Option 2 includes a new plant with chilled water capacity near the project. Option 3 expands SEP for chilled water to serve this site. Each plant would require additional capacity and/or distribution piping in order to meet the facility demand. STORMWATER: The Building will need to be elevated per City of St. Petersburg requirements. New storm water piping to convey water from the area will be needed and onsite retention pond(s) may be required to manage the flow and provide flood protection.

27 of 50

POTABLE WATER: Existing lines will have to be relocated, and extended and sized appropriately, will be needed for the combined potable demand and fire flow requirements. SANITARY: New sanitary lines will be needed to tie into the City’s sanitary mains.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS/DATA: The site has in place extensive in-ground infrastructure including manholes, conduit, copper cable and fiber optic cable. Once a site plan is determined, an assessment of the current infrastructure will need to occur to determine what modifications and additions will be needed to support the Project. Rerouted and new cable will be required to provide services to the area buildings. 5.4 EXHIBIT – PROJECT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS This section is intended to outline the USFSP technology services expected for the residents and administration of the Project.

USFSP Technology Support The St. Petersburg Regional Data Center (“SPRDAC”) at USFSP will provide the systems support noted and outlined in this section. This is in order to provide the delivery of a unified, seamless, comprehensive on-campus Housing information technology experience. The following services will be provided by SPRDAC: Internet Connectivity: Internet connectivity will be provided by SPRDAC to ensure the most seamless service to the end users (residents). A proportionate amount of service for the Project will be funded by the Private Entity. All costs for the design, construction and connectivity to the existing USFSP backbone will be the responsibility of the Private Entity. Wired Local Area Network: Wired data network connections must be provided to support classrooms, digital information displays, residence rooms (2 per bed), wireless access points and common areas. While many students use the wireless network for their activities, the wired network is necessary for applications that require higher, consistent network bandwidth. Many current students connect their game consoles, TV’s, and other entertainment devices to the wired network as well as those with desktop computers. In the construction of the Project, there must be accommodation for environmentally controlled dedicated wiring closets. These closets are the termination points for the data network connections out to the room and the location for emergency power circuits, network equipment, VOIP equipment, rack based UPS power, video surveillance servers and building access control nodes. Wiring closets need to be located so that no wiring run (from the jack to the termination in the closet) is longer than 100 meters. The cabling must be installed in compliance with USFSP wiring specifications. It is required that the cabling and associated jacks and cross-connect panels be installed by one of USF System pre-qualified contractors under the oversight of SPRDAC. This insures a quality installation and one that will be supported by SPRDAC. All costs for the design, construction and buildout of the wiring closets to USFSP specifications will be the responsibility of the Private Entity.

The Cisco physical network switch equipment, Liebert UPS units, configuration and installation for each building will be funded by the private entity during the initial construction. Equipment specifications and estimates for the cost of this equipment will be provided by SPRDAC when building plans are developed to the completion stage where data jack and wireless access points are identified. Installation and configuration of the physical network switch equipment will be conducted by SPRDAC in order for it to be supported by SPRDAC network operations. All costs for design, programming, implementation and maintenance will be the responsibility of the Private Entity. This Cisco equipment will need to be upgraded / replaced periodically.

Firewall: A proportionate amount of the firewall services for the Project will be funded by the Private Entity. Voice Telephone Services: Locations for telephones or telephone like devices (fax machines, for example) will be identified during the design process as part of construction standards. Each location will need cabling installed for connection back to the wiring closet as well as the appropriate jacks. USFSP cabling specifications must be followed in order for the system to be supported. USFSP will use pre-qualified cable installers who, as with the wired and wireless networks, will install the cabling with USF oversight. The Private Entity will be responsible for costs associated with telephone service and equipment and ongoing maintenance.

11. THE INVITATION TO NEGOTIATE PROCESS

The ITN process is a flexible procurement process that is used when highly specialized and or variable services or products are required. Negotiations offer an opportunity for selected Private Entity(ies) to discuss their responses with an evaluation committee. The goal of this comprehensive process is for identification of the optimal outcome or the solution that best meets the needs of the University. Only representatives of the participating Private Entity who are authorized to negotiate and make agreements shall be involved in negotiations.

12. EVALUATION CRITERIA

Evaluation to qualify potential Private Entities will be based on qualification requirements identified in the Section 3.2.1 and submitted per Section 4 – Submittal Requirements. Any information a Private Entity deems essential to the evaluation of the services offered, for which no provision is made in the ITN, should be clearly stated in the proposal. While the University reserves the right to request additional information or clarification from Private Entities at any time in the process, Private Entities should not assume that they will be allowed to amplify or modify their initial written proposal. The initial response must be a clear and easy to understand explanation of the products, services, benefits and prices offered and should include information as to how all specifications will be met.

13. NEGOTIATION WITH PRIVATE ENTITIES

To identify Private Entities for negotiations, submitted proposals will be evaluated, presentations may be requested, and references may be verified and reviewed. The University will compare the proposals according to the evaluation criteria described in SECTION 4 for the purpose of identifying Qualified Proposers. Private Entities may be invited to continue in the negotiation process. Negotiations offer an opportunity for the selected Private Entities to discuss their offers and proposals in further detail with the University. Selected Private Entities may be given the opportunity to refresh their initial offers. Refreshed proposals allow Private Entities to match or exceed the offers made by competitors, both as to services and cost. This allows the University to secure services which best meet its needs, at a highly competitive and favorable cost. At the conclusion of this negotiation process, the University may ask selected Private Entities to submit a written best and final offer, to memorialize all agreements reached during negotiations and to extend additional benefits to the University, if desired. An invitation to submit a best and final offer is not automatic. After this negotiation a final Private Entity(ies) may be selected.

14. INVITATION TO NEGOTIATE FORM

All proposals shall be submitted using the University of South Florida Invitation to Negotiate form (see page 2) as a cover to be considered for an award of the proposal. The

form shall be completed in ink or typewritten, signed by an authorized signatory of the Private Entity and returned with the proposal in a sealed envelope. Private Entity is responsible for marking the outside of the sealed envelope with the proposal number and the opening date. The Invitation to Negotiate form and all related pages are a legal document and cannot be altered by the Private Entity in any way. Any alteration made by a Private Entity may disqualify the proposal and the response may be considered invalid. Any necessary changes to an Invitation to Negotiate document will be implemented by written addenda to the proposal issued by Purchasing Services.

15. RIGHT TO NEGOTIATE

Upon evaluation of the responses, the University has the right to enter into negotiations with one or multiple Private Entities that appear to have submitted proposal(s) that best meet the needs and requirements of the University. Negotiations could include but are not limited to price, scope of services, and the terms and conditions of this ITN. If for any reason a Private Entity(ies) and the University cannot arrive at a mutual agreement that would result in the issuance of a contract, the University reserves the right to terminate negotiations, to reject the proposal(s), and to continue negotiations with other responsive Private Entities that may lead to the issuance and award of a contract.

16. PRIVATE ENTITY’S RESPONSIBILITY

It is understood and the Private Entity hereby agrees that it shall be solely responsible for all services that it proposes, notwithstanding the detail presented in the Invitation to Negotiate.

17. PRIVATE ENTITY’S EXPENSE

All proposals submitted in response to the ITN must be submitted at the sole expense of the Private Entity, whether or not any agreement is signed as a result of this Invitation to Negotiate. Private Entities will pay all costs associated with the preparation of proposals and necessary visits to campus and other required site visits.

18. NUMBER OF PROPOSALS SUBMITTED

Private Entity shall submit 9 proposals – one clearly marked as “Original.” Private Entities must also submit one (1) Electronic copy preferably on a thumb/flash drive.

19. PROPOSAL REJECTION

The University shall have the right to reject any or all ITN proposals and in particular to reject an ITN proposal not accompanied by data required by the Invitation to Negotiate or an ITN proposal in any way incomplete or irregular including the omission of pricing information. Conditional ITN proposals may be considered non-responsive.

20. OPEN COMPETITION

The University encourages free and open competition among Private Entities. Whenever possible, specifications, invitations to negotiate, and conditions are designed to accomplish this objective, consistent with the necessity to satisfy the University’s needs and the accomplishment of a sound economical operation. The Private Entity’s signature on their ITN proposal guarantees that the proposals have been established without collusion with other Private Entities and without effort to preclude the University from obtaining the best possible competitive contract.

21. ORAL PRESENTATION

After ITN proposals have been opened, Private Entities submitting ITN proposals may be requested, at the sole option of the University, to make oral presentations or provide written clarifications. Such presentations or clarifications will provide an opportunity for the Private Entity to clarify the proposal. Oral presentations will be recorded. Recorded oral presentations and written clarifications will be affixed to the Private Entity’s ITN proposal and become part of the same as if originally submitted.

22. MISTAKES

Private Entities must check their proposals for any errors. Failure to do so will be at the Private Entity’s risk.

In the event a mistake results in the written request of a Private Entity withdrawing any part of the proposal, the Private Entity must withdraw the entire proposal package and the University will not consider that proposal for award of ANY of the subject ITN. This applies to all requests for withdrawal. The only exception to this policy would be a case where the mistake was the result of misinformation unknowingly supplied by the University. In this event, a waiver of policy must be approved by Purchasing Services whose decision shall be final.

23. RIGHT TO TERMINATE

In the event any of the provisions of the contract are violated by the successful Private Entities, the University may serve written notice upon Private Entity of its intention to terminate the contract. Such notice will state the reason(s) for the intention to terminate the contract. If the violation does not cease and satisfactory arrangements for correction are not made within ten (10) days after the notice is served upon the Private Entity, the

contract shall cease and terminate. The liability of the Private Entity and/or his surety for any and all such violation(s) shall not be affected by any such termination.

24. FORCE MAJEURE

No default, delay or failure to perform on the part of the either party shall be considered a default, delay or failure to perform otherwise chargeable, hereunder, if such default, delay or failure to perform is due to causes beyond either party’s reasonable control including, but not limited to, strikes, lockouts or inactions of governmental authorities; epidemics; acts of terrorism; war; embargoes; fire; earthquake; acts of God; or default of common carrier. In the event of such default, delay or failure to perform, any date or times by which either party is otherwise scheduled to perform shall be extended automatically for a period of time equal in duration to the time lost by reason of the excused default, delay or failure to perform.

USF is an equal opportunity institution, and, as such, strongly encourages the lawful use of certified Minority, Women and Veteran-owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) in the provision of design and construction-related services by providing a fair and equal opportunity to compete for, or to participate in, design and/or construction-related services. The selected Private Enterprise Partner (Design/Construction Services Team) will be contractually required to implement a plan for making a good faith effort to use the services or commodities of MWBEs in carrying out its obligations. The plan must include the following at a minimum: (1) scheduling meetings to inform MWBEs of the contracting and subcontracting opportunities; (2) advertising subcontracting opportunities in general circulation, trade associations, or minority-focus media concerning the subcontracting opportunities; (3) providing written notice to a reasonable number of specific MWBEs that their interest in the contract was being solicited in sufficient time to allow the MWBE to participate effectively; (4) breaking down contracts into economically feasible units, where possible, to facilitate MWBE participation; and (5) engaging the services of available minority community organizations, minority contractors’ groups, local, state and federal minority business assistance offices, and other organizations that provide assistance in the recruitment and placement of MWBE.

CERTIFICATE OF NON-SEGREGATED FACILITIES

We, certify to the University of South Florida that we do not and will not maintain or provide for our employees any segregated facilities at any of our establishments, and that we do not and will not permit our employees to perform their services at any location, under our control, where segregated facilities are maintained. We understand and agree that a breach of this certification is a violation of the Equal Opportunity clause required by Executive Order 11246 of 24 September 1965. As used in this certification, the term "segregated facilities" means any waiting rooms, work areas, rest rooms and wash room, restaurants and other eating areas, time clocks, locker rooms and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking fountains, health and wellness or entertainment areas, transportation and housing facilities provided for employees which are segregated by explicit directive or are in fact segregated on the basis of race, creed, color or national origin, because of habit, local custom or otherwise. We, further, agree that (except where we have obtained identical certifications from proposed subcontractors for specific time periods) we will obtain identical certifications from proposed subcontractors prior to the award of subcontracts exceeding $10,000 which are not exempt from the provisions of the Equal Opportunity clause; that we will retain such certification in our files; and that we will forward the following notice to such proposed subcontractors (except where the proposed subcontractors have submitted identical certifications for specific time periods): NOTE TO PROSPECTIVE SUBCONTRACTORS OR REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFICATIONS OF NON-SEGREGATED FACILITIES. A Certificate of Non-segregated Facilities, as required by the 9 May 1967 order on Elimination of Segregated Facilities, by the Secretary of Labor (32 Fed. Reg. 7439, 19 May 1967), must be submitted prior to the award of a sub-contract exceeding $10,000 which is not exempt from the provisions of the Equal Opportunity clause. The certification may be submitted either for each sub-contract or for all subcontracts during a period (i.e. quarterly, semiannually, or annually). NOTE: Whoever knowingly and willfully makes any false, fictitious or fraudulent

representation may be liable to criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. 1001. ________________________________________ (NAME OF COMPANY) SIGNATURE: _____________________________ TITLE: _________________________________ DATE: __________________________________
